[quote=Anonymous]I've never been a huge fan of baby showers and am considering not having one. Did anyone else do this? If so, did you regret it? I'm sure my work colleagues will do a small one whether I'd like it or not, so  I mean a shower with friends and family.

A little backstory on me is that besides the whole not wanting to be the center of attention thing, I lack a big group of girlfriends In DC. Most of my closest friends and family live out of town. Also, full disclosure is that I'm still smarting a bit from the experience of planning my own bachelorette party--all of my out of town bridesmaids showed up in force, but most of my local DC friends (save two) couldn't make it, which really embarrassed me (my bridesmaids were really wanting to meet my DC friends) and hurt my feelings badly. I am also in the midst of organizing a baby shower for another friend that is going to be huge and cost me a considerable amount of time and money, and I really don't want anyone to have to go through that on my behalf. I know family and friends will send us gifts regardless so it's not like I need a shower for purposes of obtaining baby things.

Any thoughts?
